Just a heads up. There's a DR750 on Aussie ebay (nothing to do with me)and it looks pretty good at a bargain price. Check out item number 320554265159.

Happy bidding,

Simon.

Yeah I'm watching it closely have spoken with the owner and placed a bid on it just watchin and waiting to see what happens with bid wise. I do know of some else thats keen on it so I have to watch my back .

As far as I know sr/41 750 and sr/42 800 are the same but different for the mounting near rear brake pedal for the slave cylinder.
SR/43 late 91 onwards 800 is WAY different to others much heavier braced frame .

If you go ahead and get an orange seat cover made, get me one as well please. If we get a few it might bring the cost down a bit. I always thought that an orange seat would look good, but at the time Suzuki probably weren't game, thinking thay'd gone far enough with the engine paint.

Cheers,

Simon.

Simon, I'm not buying an orange seat cover. I can't buy the original black seat cover with the original SUZUKI in orange on the side. They only (custom make) them with white lettering, so I decided to do my own. I'm going up to Osbourne Park on Monday to look at some orange vinyl and if the colour's close enough I'll buy a meter and have it covered then paint SUZUKI on the side in white myself.
Cheers.

Don't stress though, I've done the numbers and without selling my V-Strom first, I can't push the price up that much.
btw If you get it, I'm happy to help you with collection and transport etc.

Thanks Tony for the assistance if I win it but I would truely love the 750 you used to have. There is some history with bike that I'd love that sitting in my shed. Now if I could track down Paul Wright's old 750 Safari bike that would be cool.

I'm with you on that one. Mine was cool cos it has the factory kit, but Paul Wright's was in another league. It must be out there............ somewhere.......
I've been told my old one is still in existance, but I've yet to track it down.
I'd be happy with a stock one for day to day use though.
Which reminds me, I'll have another go at tracking my old one down next week for you.

Been a bit busy recently guys but ive managed to bolt some more kit on the big...

The rallye fairing is now mounted securely , just need to make some infill fairing peices and get the whole thing sprayed. Im thinking red bull colourscheme???

Also a braking 4 pot billet caliper was acquired and bolted on, it meant i could ditch the crummy wr standard brake and the adaptor bracket.. keep things simpler :) Also replaced the moto master 320mm disc with a braking one... mainly because i just like braking gear really....

I'm trying to track down this sweeeeeeeeet old girl :huh Was used in the Australian Safari (was called Wynns Safari back in the early days) so I'm hoping a few more calls and I might finally track it down. Have spoken the rider - original owner in this photo ( Paul Wright ) and has said this beast is still out there.
